2024 Chute Use dot-notation as a pipeline operator.
Written as a vanilla JS function, Chute can chain and send data through a mix of functions and methods using a dot-notation style.
Without any setup steps, a single chute can alternate between: (A) calling any native or custom methods the current data has; and (B) sending the current data through functions (whether global-scope or local-scope, top level or deeply nested, made for chaining or not).
Chute works with unary, curried, and non-unary functions. Chute can send the current data through non-unary functions, at any specific argument position, by using its custom-namable placeholder variable. Chute also allows sub-chains and one-off inline functions at any step in a chute. Chute has its own page, as well as a repo at GitHub.
//Demo
return chute(initialData)// begin a chute
.regularMethod() //map reduce etc.
//any external functions:
.nameOfGlobalNativeOrCustomFn()
.do(nameOfLocalScopeFn)
.nameOfGlobal.nestedFn() //.JSON.stringify() | Math.…
// etc.
()// End
With a setup step, Chute can do a few more things.
